IEEE Micro Top Picks from 2017

IEEE Micro Top Picks from the 2017 Computer Architecture Conferences

IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission deadline: Monday, October 16, 2017
Publication: May/June 2018

IEEE Micro will publish its annual “Top Picks from the Computer Architecture Conferences” issue in May/June 2018. This issue collects some of the most significant research papers in computer architecture based on novelty and potential for long-term impact. Any computer architecture paper (not a combination of papers) published in the top conferences of 2017 (including MICRO-50) is eligible. The Top Picks Selection Committee will recognize those significant and insightful papers that have the potential to influence the work of computer architects for years to come.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

To simplify reviewing, there is a mandatory format for submissions. The submission website allows uploading two documents per submission. Please upload the following two documents separately as a single submission:

– A three-page, two-column document using 10-point type. The first two pages should summarize the paper. The third page should argue for the potential of the work to have long-term impact, clearly articulating why and how it will influence other researchers and/or industry. On the third page, please also include what the citation of your paper would be if it won the Test of Time award in 10 years.

– The final version of the original conference paper.

Submissions that do not follow this format will not be reviewed. The first document should contain the names of the authors with a footnote that contains the title of the original conference paper, with the full name of the conference, page numbers, and date of publication.
